Bates Group Senior Managing Director Kurt Wachholz Featured on Compliance in Context Podcast

Artificial intelligence can now draft memos, summarize rule releases, and generate a first pass on almost any compliance question. That capability raises a harder question for every firm: how do you train a compliance officer to exercise judgment when a tool can already produce an answer?

Bates Group Senior Managing Director Kurt Wachholz, IACCP, takes on that question as a guest on the Compliance in Context podcast episode "How Do We Develop Compliance Officers in an AI Era?" (Season 6, Episode 12), hosted by Patrick Hayes of Hayes Law and Compliance and presented by the National Society of Compliance Professionals.

The conversation grows out of the University of Chicago Law School's new framework for legal education in the AI era, and Kurt draws on nearly four decades in the industry to explain why reasoning, not research, defines the compliance professionals firms need to develop next.
